Hello dear Min Min! I just wanted to thank you for the great and qualitative work you’ve done =)! This is really well done, and really nice to learn with =)! By the way, I wanted to know if the four tones are so important to pronounce! ‘Caus that’s the point that discourage me a little to learn chinese actually (even though it’s the only one, I think). ‘Caus in Korean and Japanese, they have no tones, and so they understand easily each other with the context, so that’s why I was really wondering whether it was the same thing in chinese or not! Thank you very much for your answer =)! Keep it up! (very) Friendly =) Koara ~ ~ (and oh, thanks a lot for having send me the link of your site on my livemocha page =). I also add your site on mine =). See ya! ) (I’d also like to apologize for my imperfect english just in case ;)! I’m a french native speaker.)

Hello Min Min =)! Ok, thanks for your answer! I asked that, ‘caus I heard sometimes that when you speak fast, the tones disappear, so it meant that the people automatically understand each other with the context, therefore when those tones disappear, but they were maybe wrong to think that.. Friendly Koara ~ ~

How to say, I yesterday, from the market, for my friend, bought a bag.
This sentence would include time, location and prepositional phrase. So what should be the order then? Where should ‘for my friend’ come?
